Easy Individual Tomato Pies

As
summer and tomato season begin to wind down, it’s time to be sure we’ve eaten
plenty of the good ones and this meal was to accomplish this goal.I had something else in mind for breakfast but
Bev wanted to make individual tomato pies using the recipe from the Roseville Bed and Breakfast courtesy of Suzanne Cook & Company. We served them to the attendees at our RV rally in May and they went over well.

Tomato
Pie – Slightly Adapted per our notes below

10
count inexpensive buttermilk biscuits

1 ½
cups of grated Monterey Jack/Colby grated cheese

1
cup Real Mayonnaise

Sliced
tomatoes for 10 Biscuits

Grated
Parmesan cheese

Salad
Supreme by McCormick

Butter
Pam

Dried
Basil or Italian Seasoning

Spray
foil lined cookie sheet with Butter Pam.
Space biscuits and flatten. Spray
biscuits with Pam and sprinkle with basil.
Peel and slice tomatoes and place a slice on each biscuit. Sprinkle tomatoes with Salad Supreme. Mix Monterey Jack/Colby cheese with
mayonnaise. Put 1 tsp. on top of tomato
and sprinkle heavily with parmesan cheese.

Bake
at 350 degrees until biscuits are done (about 12 minutes). Do not let the biscuit get too brown. Do not be skimpy with spices.

Other
Variations:

1.
Place 6 raw shrimp on top of tomato before baking

2.
Place 2 precooked slices of bacon on top of tomato

3.
Place 2 asparagus spears on top of tomato

4.
all of the above can be combined for a special tomato pie

Notes:
For this version Bev used English muffins in lieu of biscuits so they needed
more than a tsp. of the cheese/mayo mix. She used a whole muffin for each one, but I think a half would have been plenty. She also added some diced, uncooked country ham on top - call it variation 5 - and her basil was fresh.

They were once again outstanding and definitely worth your consideration
before the season ends. One was plenty but they are like Lay's Potato Chips and it's hard to eat just one.

What a great looking breakfast! So that is called a tomato pie....I would definitely give them a try.... At first I thought it was a stack that included eggplant....for some reason I kept thinking stacked eggplant parmesan!
